Parameter crosswalk #5
Description
-
I noticed that at ROMN, we measure a few analytes that are not in the parameter crosswalk, so I just wanted to make a note of that here. Specifically, those analytes are alkalinity, suspended sediment, chloride (Cl), sulfate (SO4-S), sodium (Na), and ammonia (NH3-N). It's possible that suspended sediment is the same as or related to total solids, which is already in the crosswalk.
-
This may not matter, but in case it does I wanted to note that in the deliverable that CCAL gives ROMN, total nitrogen is denoted UTN rather than TN and total phosphorus is denoted UTP rather than TP.
-
Finally, I noticed that NO3-N+NO2-N has two names in the crosswalk: nitrate+nitrite nitrogen and inorganic nitrogen. I just wanted to check whether that is intentional. Also it seems like "inorganic nitrogen" is a somewhat ambiguous identifier -- is it possible that CCAL also uses it to refer to NO3 and NH3-N?
